This is a Sources Sought Notice only. The purpose of this sources sought synopsis is to gain knowledge of potential qualified sources and their size classifications (Service Disabled Veteran-Owned, Veteran-Owned Small Business, Women-Owned Small Business, HubZone 8(a), 8(a), HubZone, Small Business, Emerging Small Business, Small Disadvantage Business (SDB), and Large Business) relative to NAICS code 541380 (size standard of $5.0M). Responses to this request for information synopsis will be used by the government to make appropriate Acquisition decisions. Responses to this sources sought notice shall NEITHER constitute responses to solicitation which is not currently available NOR a request to be added to a prospective bidders list to receive a copy of the solicitation. The decision to solicit for a contract shall be solely the Government's discretion. This sources sought notice is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government pay for the information submitted in response. Respondents will not be notified of the results of any government assessments. No awards will be issued as a result of this solicitation announcement. However, the information received will be utilized to assist in formulating the strategy for competitive procurements. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, hereafter referred to as USEPA, is seeking information from potential contractors to provide multi-media, multi-concentration dioxin/furan analytical services. The analytical data will be used in support of the investigation and clean-up activities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA). Other USEPA Program Offices, as well as customers outside the Agency, that have similar analytical data needs also use this service. BackgroundThe dioxin/furan analytical service provides a contractual framework for laboratories to apply USEPA analytical methods for the isolation, detection, and quantitative measurement of 17 2,3,7,8-substituted tetra through octachlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (CDDs) and chlorinated dibenzofurans (CDFs) in water, soil, sediment, sludge, tissue (no human tissue), ash, oil, and oily matrices. The analytical service provides the methods to be used and the specific contractual requirements by which the Government will evaluate the data. This service uses a High Resolution Gas Chromatography/High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS) method to analyze the target compounds. This analytical service provides data used for a variety of purposes such as: determining the nature and extent of contamination at a hazardous waste site; assessing priorities for response based on risks to human health and the environment; determining appropriate clean-up actions; and determining when remedial actions are complete. The data may be used in all stages in the investigation of hazardous waste sites, including: site inspections; Hazard Ranking System (HRS) scoring; remedial investigation/feasibility studies; remedial design; treat ability studies; and removal actions. In addition, this service provides data that are available for use in Superfund enforcement/litigation activities. The Contractor must be aware of the importance of maintaining the integrity of the data generated under this contract, since it is used to make major decisions regarding public health and environmental welfare. Sources interested in this notice shall submit the following information: 1. Company name, address, point of contact, cage code, size of business pursuant to NAICS. In addition interested parties shall submit responses to the following questions: (1) is your business a large or small business? (2) If small, does your firm qualify as a Small, Emergent Business, or a Small, Disadvantaged Business? (3) If disadvantaged, specify under which disadvantaged group and is your firm certified under section 8(a) of the small business act? (4) Is your firm a certified "Hub Zone" firm? (5) Is your firm a Woman-Owned or operated business? (6) Is your firm a certified Service-Disabled Veteran Owned and Veteran-Owned? Interested parties should also provide a list of references, capabilities and experience in conducting similar projects for the past 3 years. This is not a request for proposals or request for quotes and in no way obligates the government to award any contract. This notice is being used to obtain information for planning purposes and the Government does not presently intend to award a contract at this time. As stipulated in FAR 15.201, responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps (https://www.fbo.gov) and on the USEPA Acquisition Management site (http://www.epa.gov).
